Another 11k+ step day. Today I finished the living room project (I had the windows open on Friday and didn't realise the wind was blowing dirt into the room). Took my walk late in the day after finishing vacuuming the entire lounge room from top to bottom, moving every bit of furniture, etc. Gee, I must be feeling better, even if it did take half the day and several rests.
I used the exercise bike for 5 minutes tonight after tea, which considering I had rice (which always sends my BGLs a bit high) seemed to be a success. I was planning to do some exercise with the Gym ball tonight too but the PDF file with exercises wouldn't print.

Notes: Appt with plastics at Flinders today (they are in 'charge' of the hole in my side). Someone scheduled me for the wrong clinic, but they saw me anyway. This was for a 3 or 4 month check up on my wound. Turns out someone put me in the wrong clinic day/time. I was in with skin cancer patients. But they saw me anyway and said it looks good, suggested packing it with a silver packing this week only because of the infection, and made comment about my lymphedema. I asked how much one affects the other (lymphedema, my wound). He said quite a bit, but they couldn't get me in any sooner to the lymphedema clinic. So that was my next stop as I knew I could just go in and ask if they had my referreral and see how far along I am on the waiting list. They are always really nice to me (it's also the BC clinic) and made me the earliest appt they could (May 16), and if there are any cancellations they'll call me.
There's a really good fruit/vet market that's between home and Flinders that was having a sale so I took my pull cart with me today and stopped there and picked up salad makings, got some meatballs at the butchers, and some Vietnamese cold rolls.
Got on bus to come home and it was packed. I miss-read the number and thought it was my bus that goes by my house and it wasn't. I should have switched at the interchange. So as usual when I get on the wrong bus, I took it all the way to Collonades and then got the right one and came home. Added a good 45 mins to my travel time today.
After breakfast and tea tonight I spent 5 minutes on the exercise bike. It seems to make a difference with my readings, so that's a good reward. Have been looking at any recen-tish diet changes and think I will go back to toast w/ peanut butter in the mornings as possibly the cheese and butter when I have the toasted cheese and vegemite half sandwich is way more fat than I need. Am also going to have less milk in my coffee and use coffee mate. Just looking for anything that would put 5 kilos on me in recent weeks. One day it wasn't there and the next it was, and I don't LIKE it. So will try to do better in the diet department and a bit more exercise. Next will be actually using the gym ball I sit on to do a few tummy related exercises.

Had Learning permit class today. Did pretty well. Have homework. Came home quite tired and managed to do a load of washing but then had to rest in the afternoon. Think the antibiotics are still trying to do their work and need me to step aside so they can do their job. Was expecting my chair to arrive today but it didn't. Hopefully tomorrow.

Another busy but exhausting day. Went for walk early. When I came home, my new chair for my desk was here. Rod was very busy studying so I assembled it myself. (Am so pleased I can do things like that!) Had lunch, saw Rod off to school, then hopped on a bus to go to 'Old Reynella' as a new discount pharmacy is there and wanted to compare prices of vitamins and stuff with what I pay at an on-line pharmacy. Turns out for most things, they're cheaper, and I don't have to pay postage and wait for it to arrive. I was back on the next bus and home within under 45 mins. This was one of those little errands where having a license would have made things a lot faster, that's for sure.
Had to nap in afternoon. Didn't have much choice. My body said NAP! and so I had to follow instructions. Got some much needed work done in the late afternoon and this evening. I'm still way behind from being sick last week though.
My chair fits my desk nicely. My other chair was too high, and I can't use the gym ball all the time, my back just won't allow it. Nice thing is, the ball stows away under the desk, which is cool. So all in all, my $20 gym ball has been very expensive... $200 for a desk that's low enough for me to use while sitting on the ball (never mind it's exactly what I've been looking for over the past year), and now $40 for a student computer chair that also fits the desk. But at least my feet now actually reach the floor while I'm sitting at the desk. What an unusual experience for me!!
